Kenan Yildiz has recently put pen to paper on a new and improved contract extension at Juventus, but he is not the only one whose Bianconeri future needs to be addressed. Here are the other players that Juventus could look to renew in the near future.
Juventus officially announced on Saturday that Yildiz has signed a new contract extension running until the summer of 2030.

His previous deal had been set to expire in 2029, but that was on a salary of €1.7m. He has been rewarded with a pay increase that reflects his star status within the squad and now takes home a reported €6m per year, which will eventually rise to €7m per year.

Which other Juventus players need new contracts?
For Juventus, one of the most pressing pieces of business is now an extension for USMNT star Weston McKennie, whose current deal is set to expire at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

According to reports from Calciomercato.com, both the club and the player wish to continue their relationship and there could even be a meeting over a potential new deal as early as next week.

According to Sunday’s report, Juventus could potentially look to tie Filip Kostic down to a new deal as well. Like McKennie, his deal is also up at the end of the current season, and the latest updates claim that he is a player that Luciano Spalletti likes and trusts, which could be enough to see him earn a new deal at the Allianz Stadium.

The most significant Juventus player whose contract is due to expire at the end of the season is Dusan Vlahovic, however, the latest reports indicate that an extension for the Serbian remains unlikely at this stage.
Elsewhere, Calciomercato.com suggests that Juventus could potentially look to extend the contracts of Pierre Kalulu, who earns a relatively low salary of €2.5m per season, but is still tied to the club until 2029.

Similarly, Manuel Locatelli, whose deal expires in 2028, could be rewarded with new terms. It is also a similar story for Khephren Thuram, who is currently set to earn around €2m per season until the summer of 2029.
Lastly, Juventus could also look to extend the contract of head coach Luciano Spalletti, however, a final decision on that matter is not expected to be taken until the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
